In the beginning:
This Meant That The 3 Men Each Paid £9.00 For The Room, Which Is A Total
Of £27.00, Add The £2.00 That The Bellboy Kept = £29.00
Where Is The Other Pound?
In the beginning:
Man behind desk has £0
Bellboy has £0
Guest 1 has £10
Guest 2 has £10
Guest 3 has £10
Total £30
At the end
Man behind desk has £25
Bellboy has £2
Guest 1 has £1
Guest 2 has £1
Guest 3 has £1
Total £30
In the end each guest paid £9 for the room = £27 and they each have £1 in their pockets. Total €30.
Of the £27 paid for accommodation the man behind the desk has £25 and the bellboy has stolen £2.
The £27 paid includes the £2 stolen by the bellboy and ignores the £3 that the three guests still have.
You are correct and I am wrong in this instance.However your line below is incorrect:
"In the end each guest paid £9 for the room = £27 and they each have £1 in their pockets. Total €30."
THE 9 they have paid out takes into account the 1 they have in their pocket
i.e. the 9 is net (i..e 10 paid out - 1 received back)
Also - your line above doesnt take into account the 2 the bellboy has.
If you included that you would have had 32.
I don't know what teh answer is.
I know what teh answer is.
3, 3, 4
We know one child is older than teh other two. The product must equal 36, so by brute force; 3x3x4 = 36
Does it have more than one answer?
How is my answer incorrect?
Three ages, with product of 36, one number greater than teh others. Where does it fall over?
Based on your logic 2 x 3 x 6 would work equally well. Or any other three factors of 36!I know what teh answer is.
3, 3, 4
We know one child is older than teh other two. The product must equal 36, so by brute force; 3x3x4 = 36
Also incorrect1, 4, 9
1, 2, 18
also seems to work.
Is the misspelling of "the" as "teh" significant?
Ah, so we need an answer where the house number can only be added up multiple ways.In that scenario, why woud the statistician have to come back saying he didnt have enough info?
